Started aiming at | 8 recently. | mbreese wrote: | Are there release notes available? What I'd really like to know | is what has changed from 8? There's usually a few major changes | with the major version bump, so that's what I was hoping to find | here (or really linked from the press release, but I couldn't | find it). | tkuraku wrote: | https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp... | sascha_sl wrote: | Interesting timing, Fedora 36 released today. | | RHEL 9 is surprisingly modern, being based on Fedora 34 which | itself still has about a month of support remaining. | totierne2 wrote: | I like the number 8. | tadbit wrote: | Given what Red Hat and the CentOS project did to CentOS 8 I have | no desire to use RHEL ever again. Right now it's just Ubuntu LTS | and Debian for my needs. Working on eliminating RHEL at work as | well, wherever I can. | geerlingguy wrote: | For the few systems I upgraded to CentOS 8 back before it was | killed, I switched them to Rocky Linux (Alma's also a good | choice). | | I'm still waiting a bit longer to see whether I'll keep my toes | in the RHEL-ecosystem-waters, or if I finish moving everything | to Ubuntu LTS and Debian. | rjgonza wrote: | Amen! I share these thoughts and plan of action completely. | tkuraku wrote: | Redhat is my favorite Linux distro for my workstation. It just | works and is rock solid. I wish they had a node locked license | option like windows pro workstation,https://www.microsoft.com/en- | us/d/windows-10-pro-for-worksta..., for $300-500 for a major | version instead of always having to manage subscriptions. | colechristensen wrote: | When RedHat officially supported a piece of hardware, and your | large enterprise software officially supported RedHat, it was a | pretty good setup. | | Lots of things which are otherwise a mess in Linux just | weren't. | | Of course much of my experience on this was with things like | $10k per seat software on a $5k workstation or similar. | | One of the reasons containerization is so popular is poorly | supported software (on ubuntu mostly) just being broken and | hard to work with combined with a pretty bad way to write and | manage packages (apt). | nvr219 wrote: | What hardware do you use it on | tkuraku wrote: | At work I have a dell t7920 desktop. At home I have a custome | built desktop from 2014 with an Intel i7. Works like a charm. | VWWHFSfQ wrote: | The word "Microsoft" appears 12 times in this press release. | | I always thought Microsoft would end up acquiring Red Hat, but | IBM did it instead. Now I think they'll acquire Canonical. I | think it's only a matter of time before we'll have a Microsoft | Linux. | ohthehugemanate wrote: | https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner | | Microsoft's linux platforms presently run mostly on Ubuntu. | You're right that one way out of that dependency would be to | buy Canonical. They chose to make their own top level Linux | distro instead. | rajishx wrote: | reading it from the README it does seem they use fedora/spec | for packaging? is it ubuntu repackaged with rpm? | rajishx wrote: | to be fair and try to dismiss your comment, it does seem the | word Microsoft has been associated a lot with opensource | companies and technologies lately. | bityard wrote: | To give MS credit, they are _much_ more friendly to open | source than I ever believed they could be. I think the | popularity of Linux and Mac for web/cloud development (which | is almost entirely based around open source code) more or | less forced their hand. | mistrial9 wrote: | friendly, as in "we enable your chinese food order, we | monitor you eating it, and we get some of yours when we | want it" friendly | ianai wrote: | It's a shock to me as well. I do think this direction leads | to more revenue for them long term though. Clearly the | Windows desktop isn't quite enough for their future plans | so they've got to play nice with emerging platforms, or | something. (Sounds more like 2013 logic but you get the | idea...) ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-05-11 23:00 UTC)
